He does a great job giving Ratchet a lot of life and makes him a very likable character. Ratchet is a kind fellow thanks to James Arnold Taylor being his new voice actor (Insomniac really didn’t like the voice direction for Ratchet originally and stuck with James since Going Commando onwards). The story here is fantastic and the dynamics with the cast is outstanding. Ratchet is ready to go while Clank stays behind to relax. Literally seconds after saying that, they are warped to Megacorp and see Fizwidget, who asks Ratchet & Clank to find a creature called the Proto-Pet, a experiement that was stolen from the location. They’ve more or less been relaxing with Ratchet desiring to be part of a new adventure.
The story is that a now kinder and calmer Ratchet is relaxing on Veldin with Clank being interviewed about what they’ve been doing since being Drek.

Will touch on them when we get to the PSP games. Like Ratchet 1, a sequel was starting development three months before Ratchet 2’s launch and some developers leaving both Insomniac Games and Naughty Dog to form High Impact Studios. So this released in Fall 2003, a year after the launch of the original Ratchet and Clank, with it being very successful. Some effects like very advanced water texturing was cut due to the game’s frame rate tanking when it was in action, so they used simpler water technology. Better visuals, more RPG elements added to the core gunplay, modern aiming systems for your weapons and more streamlined design compared to the original game. Insomniac wanted to play with a lot of concepts for the sequel game and really push the PS2 hardware with Ratchet 2. So, three months before Ratchet 1’s launch, development of the sequel was underway. I love this game a lot, so lets waste no time! Lets go commando everyboday!ĭevelopment history on this game is very direct and simple the first one was expected to be a success, so Sony greenlight a sequel mid-production of the original Ratchet & Clank. Ratchet 2 is the turning point for the series, with the core gameplay completely changing in really clever ways and a lot of the groundwork that latter games expanded upon being established.
